Ammo for the GOP

Not only did the Democratic candidates give the Republicans some incendiary fuel to use against Hillary Clinton next year (as John Farmer aptly noted in his Nov. 2 column), but they stand accused of the pot calling the kettle black. John Edwards and Barack Obama pledged to wage clean campaigns, avoiding character assasination, but in the runup to the first primary, they flip-flopped and did exactly what they accused Clinton of doing: contradicting herself and being inconsistent. Even the classy Chris Dodd joined the fray. Shame on these self-proclaimed purists! Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
